We actually created a script to push out the VPN and settings to our Windows 10 users. Was very simple to do using PowerShell. No CMAK required :) Add-VpnConnection -AllUserConnection -Name "[insert VPN name]" -ServerAddress [insert IP/hostname for VPN] -TunnelType L2tp -DNSSuffix "[insert domain name]" -EncryptionLevel Optional -AuthenticationMethod PAP -L2tpPsk "[insert VPN password]" -Force -PassThru

Love my fidget cube. The socks are such a great hit at my office that I had to try to get a pair for one of our PMs.

@PhilipDAth is correct. You can find them under Network Wide/Clients. They will show up with one of the following symbols: Green = currently connected, Gray = Not currently connected. @WadeAlsup, that's how I drill down to my Client VPN connections as well!

Fernando @FernandoC, I don't have the answer to that yet. In fact, that is something I am working on as I type this. I hope to have something for you soon.

@FernandoC, I've seen this error before. You most likely have a summarized 10.0.0.0/8 route somewhere in your network. Because the Meraki devices see this route, it is sent out across your network thinking there is no network available to generate. It is the same reason why when you are creating the network, you will see a message saying that the network you're creating overlaps with another network and the more specified route will take preference. While you are still able to manually create networks, the auto-generation will not work. Is there a way you can remove the summarized route without breaking your network?

Soo I took my network to 9.27 per the suggestion of a tech for another unrelated issue. When we pushed it out to one of our networks, it broke my routing. Ended up rolling back to 8.10.

BradB wrote: CMNA and CMNO both cover the full Meraki product stack with a medium level of depth across the board. CMNO is intended for those operating Meraki networks. To quote the Meraki website The Certified Meraki Network Operator certification is a full day commitment for IT professionals with CCNA (or equivalent) networking knowledge. My question is the following: If the CMNO is aimed at professions with CCNA (or equivalent) networking knowledge, how is the it possible for members in my organization who 1.) have limited exposure to Meraki and 2.) have little to no networking experience/knowledge to be passing this exam? I understand that this is a free certification and that I probably shouldn't be putting much weight into this, but for it to be touted as a CCNA level certification only to have it passed by though without the knowledge is a bit discouraging. Any thoughts?

We got a 250 in one of our suites and it's definitely a bit louder than all the other ones we have. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed it.

@RodrigoC, forget my previous comment. Got it working! While not having the FULL functionality of content filtering, this is at least a very good start. Thanks!

@RodrigoC, just tried to do this on our network and it did not work. Not only was I able to still reach the Internet and connect to our internal resources, I was able to also reach restricted content that was supposed to be blocked due to webfilter. Is this occuring because we are forwarding all traffic back to our HQ? Need some help on this as this is really stopping us from getting more Z1s for our over 200+ remote users.

BHC_RESORTS wrote: Backups should be in your hands, not a vendors. @BHC_RESORTS once again couldn't agree with you more. You hit the mark! @Johm this is not about having higher standards than someone else. This is about understanding the limitation of the product you're using. When we were demoing Meraki, this limitation was clearly explained to us. At that point we could have not gone with Meraki or adapt to the limitation and find a work around until it was resolved. Yes it is frustrating, but to blame Meraki for not having your backup is ridiculous. Many would agree with you that there does need to be some sort of way to restore the config, but until that is an option, it is up to YOU. Even if and when this becomes an option, I would tell you right now that you need to have a local copy of your configuration. What happens if that cloud backup goes missing? How are you going to recover if you are slowly relying on that cloud backup. This is not me being a Meraki fan boy, this is a fellow tech talking to you. I hope you learn something from this experience and that it serves as a "take it from me experience" for other people on the forum. If you don't know what the 3-2-1 Backup Strategy is, I strongly recommend learning and implementing it.

I agree with @BHC_RESORTS, taking screenshots of the config, while an extra step for the end user, is something that is necessary in case things like this happen. This is a limitation that is up to YOU to mitigate. Should Meraki be able to fix this? Yes. Should you be prepared to fix your equipment in the event something catastrophic happens and Meraki is unable to restore your config, so you fix it by referring to your documentation that you have had from the start? Also Yes.

But this is the latest Meraki beta firmware, correct? If so, I'll probably just wait until it comes in the latest stable release. I don't know about you, but I'm not a fan of running my network on beta firmware.

When I spoke with an engineer about this issue, it was due to a google node having some issues. It doesn't have to be whitelisted at all our branches, but we did anyway I believe.

Another feature we would like deals with templates. While I understand that goal of a template is to create a cookie cutter setup that you can apply to each branch, I would love to be able to setup templates where I am able to select what aspect of the configuration I would like templated. For example, I would like Group Policies, Content Filtering, Wireless, and Firewall rules to follow the template, but I would still like to be able to configure individual ports.
Just a thought..

We were skeptical about this as well. What we do is full tunnel the connection to our MX600 which has the advanced security features. At that point, the users at the Z1 site follow the rules from the MX600.

DarkStar wrote: @Welles Removing the feature if there is no way to fix it I agree. However many times I do not have access to a remote system to do a speed test. I have networks all over the state, so I need the speed test to work from the MX. OR I could be standing up a new site with no clients and I need to validate the speed to take possession of the circuit. Thanks -DS This is exactly why I want the speedtest feature. Being able run a speedtest without having to contact a user at the site would be very beneficial for us. Sure we could easily configure a RPi to do something like that, but again... if my home router can do it, why can't my Meraki device?

Great question @RobC. We were receiving calls from our users saying their initial calls would fail and they would have to redial the number and it would work. We then took a packet capture and it showed that the "Do not fragment" bit was turned on. For some reason, the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lites we were using were having a hard time processing the packet and so the initial call would fail. We did not know if Meraki would've fixed our issue at first. This issue happened around the same time we were doing our trial of Meraki gear. We deployed the gear at a PBX site and a branch location and tested phone calls. When the issue did not occur, we got more test gear and tried more users making calls. When the issue did not occur, we knew it was a packet handling issue and that Meraki could handle it.

I was going to post a topic similar to this. We've been moved to a "named account". Surely that means we should have access to some sort of advanced training/certification. I feel that limiting the Master training just to partners is limiting the potential you can really give the community. @BradB, what are your thoughts?
